Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.

Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!

The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.

Our forgiving love toward men is the evidence of God's forgiving love in us. It is a necessary condition of the prayer of faith.

A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.

Humility is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God.

Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.
